obviously you will get an error. the hard disk you have removed contains 
important stage files necessary for the grub bootloader. look 
into /boot/grub/

to remove grub, just install another bootloader into the mbr. if you keep on 
removing the 2nd hard disk which contains linux, you should try installing 
XOSL bootloader into a FAT partition of the first hard disk (which contains 
windows). just make sure you have grub installed in the mbr of the second 
hard disk, as XOSL cant boot linux without grub/lilo. 

regarding the manual selection of OS, it depends on the bootloader. for grub, 
remove the timeout field from /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst).
All bootloaders have this option.
